Comparison of an integrated versus stand-alone approach to post-validation surveillance for lymphatic filariasis in Niue
Background: Lymphatic filariasis (LF) is a mosquito-borne parasitic disease caused by three species of filarial worm: Wuchereria bancrofti, Brugia malayi and B. timori. The early stages of infection are often asymptomatic; yet, chronic infection may result in lymphoedema, elephantiasis, and hydrocele, imposing significant social and economic burdens. Global initiatives have dramatically reduced prevalence and transmission, and Niue, a self-govern…
A retrospective cohort study and spatial analysis of climate and community-level determinants of respiratory syncytial virus notifications among Queensland infants, prior to the introduction of the RS…
Background Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) is a highly infectious seasonal respiratory pathogen and a major cause of morbidity in young children. In Australia, RSV is the leading cause of hospitalisation for bronchiolitis and pneumonia among children aged 6 months, when protection from maternal vaccination and birth dose therapeutics wanes
A study protocol for developing a spatial vulnerability index for infectious diseases of poverty in the Caribbean region
Infectious diseases of poverty (IDoP) affect disproportionately resource-limited and marginalized populations, resulting in spatial patterns of vulnerability across various geographical areas. Currently, no spatial indices exist to quantify vulnerability to IDoP at a fine geographical level within countries, such as municipalities or provinces. Without such an index, policymakers cannot effectively allocate resources or target interventions in th…
Quantifying the relationship between climatic indicators and leptospirosis incidence in Fiji
Leptospirosis, a global zoonotic disease, is prevalent in tropical and subtropical regions, including Fiji where it’s endemic with year-round cases and sporadic outbreaks coinciding with heavy rainfall. However, the relationship between climate and leptospirosis has not yet been well characterised in the South Pacific. In this study, we quantify the effects of different climatic indicators on leptospirosis incidence in Fiji, using a time series o…
Hospitalisation with injection‐related infections
Development of the Covid-19 Real-Time Information System for Preparedness and Epidemic Response (CRISPER), Australia
Accurate and current information has been highlighted across the globe as a critical requirement for the COVID-19 pandemic response. To address this need, many interactive dashboards providing a range of different information about COVID-19 have been developed. A similar tool in Australia containing current information about COVID-19 could assist general practitioners and public health responders in their pandemic response efforts. The COVID-19 R…
Determinants of Spatial Heterogeneity of Functional Illiteracy among School-Aged Children in the Philippines
Functional literacy is one of the targets of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) of the United Nations. Functional literacy indicators are likely to vary between locations given the geographical variability of its major determinants. This property poses a challenge to decisions around efficient allocation of population services and resources to mitigate the impact of functional literacy in populations most in need. Using functional literacy …
